the guitar music / acid folk reissue of

Satwa

LP (1973)-> CD

Time-LagSatwa (BR,1973)***°'

This is one of the many great Rozenblit releases from 70’s Brazil. It was released privately three years before the celebrated, and one of the most psychedelic albums from Brazil, Cortez/Ramhalo : Paebiru. This mostly guitar-based album is as much a one of a kind guitar based album, which is pretty improvised. The two guitarists here show a brilliant psych-fluent instant-duet understanding, with melodic variation. Lula Cortez plays guitar or the “popular Morocco sitar”, while Lailson de Holanda Cavalcanti plays 12-string guitar and …let’s say uses his voices a bit. Special guest guitarist on one track is Robertinho Do Recife.  Both artists are so dedicated to one another, the music becomes like one organic but structured evolution. Also the sitar is used as if resonating the lead guitar.
